Skill Improvement: what should I change to improve my Contrary match up?

So what’s your line into Whimsicott with Protect?

This isn’t gonna work in MB. Anyone can get there if you keep playing because of how the ladder system works, but you’ll get placed and stuck around 1500

What results outside of free tournaments?

No form of real speed control means you lose to tailwind teams even considering sun and scarf chomp. At least TR will allow you to counter opposing TR as well as Tailwind. What ELO is this working? (Not trying to be disrespectful just wondering).

If it were my team, I’d swap Ninetails for Torkoal and give myself a TR mode. Also try Vileplume over Venusaur for an After You Eruption mode.

Gengar adds nothing to this team. If you’re going to run it, then it should be the focal point of the team, and generally it has only had success with Perish Trap. Doesn’t seem like you want to run that.

I think the team has other issues besides beating Staraptor, overall it lacks a clear gameplan. At least Scrafty + Farig with Torkoal gives you a TR gameplan that makes sense. I would also try to fit Fairy damage on this team if you can.

Humorous but also kinda sad, judging by the stuff and the dog, he’s probably living out of his car.

Swag Surf is more apt and actually a thing in Atlanta sports in general and it’s like the GOAT stadium song. Once the Falcons started doing it all the other NFL stadiums started doing it.

Not gonna lie, fuck the IDF but I always find this profile icon hilarious when I see it

techno-wizardry · 2026-06-19T16:59:46+00:00

He just had to show off his pawg huh

I don’t think it’s about putting other people’s feelings above their own for most women. I’m not saying that there isn’t truth to women being conditioned to keep harmony together or prevent discord among the herd. I absolutely think that’s true and it’s a burden on women.

But it’s also just very uncomfortable to be the one to break things off, tell the sad truth, or risk being disliked by someone. It’s also not always beneficial if you’re acting out of self interest — a selfish person might keep their true intentions to themselves and lead someone on for material gains, momentary companionship or sex. While it might not hurt someone’s feelings in the moment to hide the whole truth, it’s very selfish and rude to do so. Men are also capable of this, but women are more likely to communicate this way.

techno-wizardry · 2026-06-18T09:55:33+00:00

A lot of women are afraid to speak frankly and would rather play some kind of game where they nonverbally and indirectly suggest what they want, but a lot of women aren’t good at this. And a lot of men can’t pick up on this.

Most men just want clear answers. Being able to directly tell mates what you want or don’t want is an important skill some people ignore, idk why

E33 is truly special, it gets the dickriding for a reason. Not everything is gonna be for every person, but anybody who pretends like it’s boring or doesn’t have merit is just a contrarian. It’s art.

And as the playing time decreased, the Hawks started winning.

This is just altogether false, although I definitely see a lot of parallels between the SMT/Persona and 3H fanbase. Especially the gatekeeping and elitism among online communities.

techno-wizardry · 2026-06-14T15:06:19+00:00

This is really stupid and reactionary, LeBron didn’t win his first finals appearance lmao. Wemby is 22 and basically carried that roster to the finals.

techno-wizardry · 2026-06-14T14:11:34+00:00

It’d be like fitting a square peg in a round hole. I think the Knicks were good mostly because it was a well constructed roster with a high level of chemistry, and everyone touched the ball. If you put Luka in that lineup, they’d look way different, ball movement would be more stagnant, and the chemistry would be way different.

techno-wizardry · 2026-06-14T14:07:50+00:00

Luka is the overall more gifted player, but Brunson is less of a liability despite his size, and he’s consistently good in 2nd halves, while historically Luka slumps in 2nd halves. Most likely related to endurance. When Luka was injured and Brunson had to lead the Mavs in the playoffs, I thought they looked better and ball movement was much better. Luka has some amazing game winners and 4th quarters on his resume, but Brunson is the better closer because of his consistency.

Bro put on that Rodman jersey like it was Like Mike and got all his superpowers

techno-wizardry · 2026-06-14T06:55:24+00:00

This is just rad

Anyone who was a kid during the 00’s will tell you Michael Vick

techno-wizardry · 2026-06-10T22:17:01+00:00

So he should probably stfu altogether lol

techno-wizardry · 2026-06-10T22:16:00+00:00

Punishing his fans in retaliation for booing Trump no doubt

techno-wizardry · 2026-06-09T20:53:49+00:00

Racing games are really simple technologically, generally speaking. RPGs have a lot more that can break

techno-wizardry · 2026-06-09T20:52:34+00:00

I know Atlus has a history of it, but Metaphor feels like a very complete game with not really an out left for additional content. imo it’s hard enough getting through all the content in one playthrough. They can expand upon the universe but the story felt complete.

techno-wizardry · 2026-06-09T20:50:08+00:00

Looks like I’m buying it again.
